PASTA SALAD RECIPE
1 (16-ounce) box Fusilli pasta gluten-free works as well
1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil
1/3 cup red wine vinegar
2 cloves garlic crushed
1 teaspoon dijon mustard
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
1 teaspoon sea salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 (14-ounce) can of quartered artichoke hearts drained
1/2 cup Kalamata olives cut in half
1 1/2 cup bell pepper diced (I like to use yellow and orange)
1 cup baby tomatoes cut in half
1/2 cup celery thinly sliced into half-moons
1/2 red onion finely diced
1/2 cup chopped fresh basil

INSTRUCTIONS
Cook pasta according to package instructions until al dente. While the pasta cooks, whisk together extra virgin olive oil, red wine vinegar, garlic, mustard, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper in a large bowl.

Drain the pasta and add it right into the dressing. Toss to coat. Let cool, tossing once or twice so the pasta can absorb all the flavors of the dressing.

Add in artichoke hearts, olives, bell pepper, tomatoes, celery, onion, and basil, and stir well to combine. Serve and enjoy or chill until ready to serve.

NOTES
Store the leftover salad in an airtight storage container in the refrigerator for about 5 days. Before serving again, give it a good stir and taste + season again as needed. This salad is great served at room temperature or chilled.

  17. I tried this today.👍👍 I've made similar pasta salads before. I like YOUR dressing the BEST, and I love the use of FRESH garlic in it! So good! I like all the ingredients you used, which I also used, and I added chopped (slightly sauteed) baby Bella mushrooms.😋 Delish!

  19. Oh my!!! I just made this and I loved it, it tasted sooooo good, the garlic, the basil, the Dijon mustard add such a great flavor. I didn’t have wine vinegar so I used organic apple cider vinegar and it was still amazing. Thank you so much for your great recipes, I’ve made many of them.

  22. Don't use a garlic crusher, just lay the Garlic on the cutting board, put your knife flat over it, and give it a smash! If you can't do that with a whole clove, just cut it in half so it has a flat side to lay on, and then do the smash, it becomes more pasty, and you don't have to cleanup those horrible Garlic Crushers, they are useless, annoying to clean, and they only have that one purpose, just a wasted kitchen gadget 😉

    Also the Olives, you can do the trick like with Tomatoes, lay them between 2 plates and just cut through, a lot of time saved 😉

    Regarding cutting Onions, a lot of professional chefs make the vertical cut, but it is pointless, as the fibers in the Onion make it fine diced anyway without it 😛

    Although you can make Pasta breaking down slower, it will NEVER be healthy!!! Carbs is the single most reason for all known folk-diseases, as it will fire up your blood sugar, and then comes the obesity, diabetes, arthritis, pcos, asthma, cancer, heart conditions, you name it… Also, there are people who can't handle fiber, it messes up their stomach big time, just like gluten does!

  38. Hi I just came across your channel. Wanted to know if we can earn enough to make a living out of YouTube cooking channel? I want to start my channel and have no idea if We can make a living out of here

  40. This is the best pasta salad you will ever eat! I made this for my family of four and it was gone in one day! I substituted cucumber for celery and it was great. Dressing tastes like a yummy Italian bread dipping sauce you might get at a restaurant and the fresh basil and garlic really add a zing! So good!!!!
